Kaltostat - Box of 10

  • £10.99 ex VAT
  • £13.19 inc VAT

Kaltostat consists of an absorbent fibrous fleece composed of the sodium and calcium salts of alginic acid in the ratio of 80:20. The dressing is presented as a flat non-woven pad for application to surface wounds. In the presence of exudate or other body fluids containing sodium ions, the fibres absorb liquid and swell and calcium ions present in the fibre are partially replaced by sodium, causing the dressing to take on a gel-like appearance. This overlays the wound and provides a micro-environment that is believed to facilitate wound healing.Kaltostat consists of an absorbent fibrous fleece composed of the sodium and calcium salts of alginic acid in the ratio of 80:20.

Kaltostat is a highly effective wound dressing that is designed to promote faster healing and reduce the risk of infection. Each box contains 10 individually wrapped dressings that are made from a unique blend of calcium alginate fibers. These fibers are derived from seaweed and are known for their excellent absorbency and ability to form a gel-like substance when they come into contact with wound exudate. The Kaltostat dressing is easy to apply and conforms to the shape of the wound, providing a comfortable and secure fit. It is also highly versatile and can be used on a wide range of wounds, including pressure ulcers, diabetic foot ulcers, surgical wounds, and more. One of the key benefits of Kaltostat is its ability to promote faster healing. The calcium alginate fibers in the dressing help to create a moist wound environment, which is essential for optimal healing. This environment also helps to reduce the risk of infection, as it creates a barrier against bacteria and other harmful microorganisms. Kaltostat is also highly absorbent, which means that it can effectively manage wound exudate. This helps to prevent maceration and other complications that can slow down the healing process. The dressing can also be left in place for up to seven days, which reduces the need for frequent dressing changes and minimizes the risk of further trauma to the wound. Overall, Kaltostat is an excellent choice for anyone looking for a high-quality wound dressing that is both effective and easy to use. Its unique blend of calcium alginate fibers makes it highly absorbent and versatile, while its ability to promote faster healing and reduce the risk of infection makes it an essential tool for wound care professionals and patients alike.
